Seriously through, don't even waste time to watch it. Most of the actors can't even act, and yet it is very disturbing. Dialogue and camera shot are the worst and i can't believe they spent 2,000,000 on this crap.
Casting is also very awful. They hired Filipino actress to play the leading role which is very ridiculous and it shows her weird Vietnamese accent. They should have hired Vietnamese to play this role instead of her. Well I don't have a problem with her acting, but I think they should cast "Right people" to play the "Right Role"
It's just worst and worst, don't watch it!

Just been on vacation to Vietnam and visited the My Lai memorial,a deeply moving experience.
In my opinion, this was a cheap and nasty attempt to recreate the story of the massacre.
I hated the attempts to 'Hollywoodize' the story.
There were feeble attempts to introduce a fictional love story which just cheapened the whole story.
Most of the time, the villagers sounded more American than the Americans, except when they suddenly switched to Vietnamese for no apparent reason!
The standard of acting was appalling and wooden. The dialogue was inane and most of the effects were pathetic.
This film is an insult to the people who died at My Lai. One to avoid.

If it's one thing I dislike it's an interesting and important story being used up in bad films. Movie Executives are going to look at this failure and tell anyone else trying to do their take on this story that it will not be popular enough and that it has failed in the past.
The actual massacre of My Lai Four, is one of the most photographed and documented acts of genocide (during wartime) but this Italian 'Nam' film is a bit of an atrocity in itself. Certainly a missed opportunity to address what was possibly, the darkest stain on US military history and almost an insult to those ill-fated souls who perished. A case of a grade A war-crime, dealt with in a C grade movie. This story needs to be told by a director like Oliver Stone.
Chapeau to this producer and director who had the balls to treat this subject. No one else did. So they really had the balls to do it. Unfortunately I think, like many reviewers of this title, that the acting was very bad. This is sad. This subject deserved good actor and direction. The execution is sloppy but it still feature a shameful event no one else had the guts to treat. So, congrats!
